DOVER, DE-The York College field hockey squad dropped their fourth straight as the green and white fell to Wesley College 3-1 in a Capital Athletic Conference contest on Tuesday in Dover, Del. The Spartans fall to 3-8 overall and 1-3 in the CAC while the Wolverines improve to 6-1 overall and 2-1 in the conference.

The Wolverines held an 8-6 margin in shots and an 8-3 bulge in penalty corners in the opening half.

The green and white opened the second half scoring as Jami Hassler (Derwood, Md./Magruder) fed Megan Spangler (Myerstown, Pa./Eastern Lebanon County) with a nice pass that Spangler was able to convert for the goal just over 10 minutes into the half. The goal was Spangler's first of the year.

It took Neeman just over five minutes to break the tie as she converted a shot from seven yards out for an unassisted goal as the Wolverines captured the lead with 19:25 remaining in regulation. Wesley got a key insurance tally just under six minutes later as Nicole Hill fed Brooke Tadlock for the goal with 13:32 left in the game.
